Rome has never stopped evolving, constantly enriching its skyline with new architectural landmarks. Since the year 2000, at least five major international projects have been completed: Renzo Piano’s Auditorium and Music Centre, the “Nuvola” Conference Centre by Massimiliano Fuksas, Richard Meier’s striking Church of God the Merciful Father, Zaha Hadid’s MAXXI Museum of 21st-Century Arts, and the elegant Music Bridge by the British firm Buro Happold.
But the story of Contemporary Rome began earlier, in 1936, with Mussolini’s ambitious plan to create a modern district of Rome to host the 1942 World’s Fair a project later abandoned due to WWII. Today, the EUR district is a fascinating business and residential neighborhood with a dreamlike atmosphere, showcasing some of the city’s most unconventional architecture.
To complete the experience, Rome also boasts the country’s most important National Gallery of Modern Art, featuring masterpieces by Klimt, Van Gogh, Monet, Boccioni, Cézanne, Burri, Degas, Modigliani, Duchamp, and many others.
